Features Security Github A popular github plugin just became a massive security risk! 🚨 hackers managed to steal a token, compromise the project, and inject malware that logs secret. Jetbrains identified a security vulnerability in their github plugin for intellij based ides (versions 2023.1 and later) that could expose access tokens, and to mitigate this issue, they contacted github and implemented measures that might cause the plugin to malfunction in older ide versions.

Features Security Github A widespread phishing campaign is currently targeting github repositories with fake security alerts, potentially compromising thousands of developer accounts. cybersecurity experts warn that these sophisticated attacks could grant hackers complete control over victims’ code repositories and personal information. Github reviewed advisories are security vulnerabilities that have been mapped to packages in ecosystems we support. we carefully review each advisory for validity and ensure that they have a full description, and contain both ecosystem and package information. The github advisory database (advisory db) is a vital resource for developers, providing a comprehensive list of known security vulnerabilities and malware affecting open source packages. this post analyzes trends in the advisory db, highlighting the growth in reviewed advisories, ecosystem coverage, and source contributions in 2024. Jetbrains has alerted its customers to a critical security flaw that affects users of its intellij integrated development environment (ide) apps. this vulnerability, known as cve 2024 37051, exposes github access tokens and is present in all intellij based ides from 2023.1 onwards where the jetbrains github plugin is enabled and in use.

When handling pull requests within the ide, malicious content could inadvertently expose access tokens to external hosts. this security issue poses a significant risk, as compromised access tokens could lead to unauthorized access and potential account compromise. In 2020, github faced a significant security threat with the octopus scanner malware. this malware specifically targeted open source java projects on github, infecting developers' local. According to the report, security experts urge organizations to prepare robust detection and response playbooks. with threat actors rapidly adopting github device code phishing, the risk to developer environments and supply chains is clear. As the recent emby incident shows and as reported to us by @scribblercoder, we should absolutely warn about the possible security implications of both 3rd party repos in general, and of non official plugins. expected behavior. we should warn about 3rd party repo risk when adding the repository.
